Rushland, Pennsylvania
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Rushland faces a critical environmental risk score of 10.0. The Hartsville Groundwater site is less than five miles away and contains hazardous substances. These chemicals can seep into the water you drink or the air inside your home. Because the site is active, pollution may still be moving through the ground. This means your family might be exposed to toxins without knowing it. You must stay informed about local water quality to protect your health every single day.

Residents should immediately contact local organizations to discuss environmental safety and housing protections.
